I recall it wasn't more than 10m and someone on the thread mentioned it was as low as 5m.
And like...it's great I guess for folks who can sit here all day and grind and happen to have the unobtainable weapons that smack it hard enough to leave substantial damage. But it just feels like they're rewarding top tier battlers yet again and punishing all the rest of us for not having amassed weapons since before tiers were a thing. And I'm getting super tired of it. Every single event with a battle component ends up like this.
Yeah, I am on the fence about the number they picked. I think it's because it's a constant and their thinking is that everyone that put in effort before would have put in more and so a higher number is needed. But it's also... we need to see the end result. Staff will adjust if need be and the desire IS to make it so people aren't pulling all nighters. Will some grind all day ? Yes. But the idea is "it's there constantly, so hopefully people won't feel the NEED to." Battling is always going to be best for those that are at the top, it's like that for everything. And you don't need the top of the top weapons, some of which are worse than ones we get for much cheaper. It's a matter of how you use them. I'm going in with Natasha and Blessed Trident, which aren't classic top of the top, and I am hitting a nice amount. One thing I know is that the number you calculate not only functions but can also be wildly off. I tried calculating each time and was vaaaaaaastly under what I was actually doing.
The thing is though, the only people who won't have to grind that hard are the people who would've hit any cap regardless because they have the old weapons that do the heavy hitting. Every complaint to the battle admins has been that they arrange things so that only the people who are already at the top can accomplish anything, and they continue to do it while handing out empty platitudes about how if we just keep working hard, we'll get there too. And then the next event they show us that it's all bs again.
When I'm not on my phone, I was calculating, and sure....sometimes I can do 10-15k, but that's still sitting here all day every day to hit the 1000-2500 wins I'd need. And that means completely ignoring the other gelatins also, because those are all achievements I am working on. Previously it was a week of the smalls then 5+ days with the large as a focus. Now it's 7 days total and if you still need more acheivements, the only answer is to grind 24/7.
They keep doing this and aot of people are just as over it as me. A lot. You can't say you want a huge chunk of the site to be inviting and then continue to gatekeep it like they do.
Something I didn't know was that users were consulted over the number beforehand. And the 15m is based off users suggesting 20-30. 200 were given last year at 5m damage. We really only had one shot though, and I think it was a day each ? They had released the Hydro multiple times, but only our best damage count counted. So it was more or less one day = 5m for 200 cores. Now we're getting six solid days. I am by no means a fan of how battle stuff is handled but I won't be able to tell how I feel until after the fact. It seems like a high number, but it's also over six days.
The thing is tho....who did they consult? The top battlers? Because I'm part of the Testers group that supposedly gets in on these kinds of discussions from staff and there wasn't a discussion there. And last year had the cumulative damage counter too - it wasn't just a one day affair, as far as I recall, because we could track our progress.
Idk, I'm just tired of it always jumping to even more impossible standards after they tell us that next year it will be obtainable if we got close this year. They keep upping the game and discouraging newer users from even bothering at all.
lol no idea which one of those replies is mine. we are numbers o.0
This glitch is absolutely HILARIOUS. It makes me think of being in a dystopian novel where we're all just called by numbers, but the numbers keep changing.
It's so very wild to me. I thought it would be fixed by now but no haha.
I think it got fixes last night, actually, while I was avoiding posting.
Edit: I thought it was, since I saw some normal pings.
haha yeah I noticed my numbers changed too. weird o.0
yes! i hope we get a damage bar we can check like once an hour or something. I would hate to be at 14.5 million and lose the top tier for losess.
